Common: It is not uncommon for women do have episodes of painful periods (dysmenorrhea). For some women, this occurs rarely, and for others every month. It is usually due to prostaglandin release, which causes painful uterine contractions. NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen are usually effective for treating symptoms. See your clinician if your symptoms persist or worsen.
